My students need these guitars so that we will not have to share instruments in the future. All students will be able to play together at our performances.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The students are in my high school beginning guitar class. At this time many of them do not have the resources to purchase their own guitar. We share instruments, have had teachers donate used guitars and I have purchased a couple of guitars with my own money.
This donation of guitars would help my students to be more successful and confident in their playing.
My students are excited about playing the guitar and learning. It is a shame that circumstances beyond their control hinders their ability to succeed.
My Project
Currently I have 8 students without their own guitars. The instruments donated would be put to immediate use.
We currently have to share guitars and some students do not get to participate regularly in class.
These are fine students who want to learn and are excited about playing a guitar.
The lack of an instrument to use affects their participation and may hinder their success in the class. I am sure that a donation of instruments will help them going forward with their musical instruction. We have offered this class previously and have always had students without an instrument but not the number like this year.
